She heard Koh's laughter, but saw nothing except dark water as her battered body sank into the depths of the cavern. Piercing cold froze what little will she had left and her eyes slid shut, waiting for the inevitable.

Like before, monstrous spirits appeared out of the darkness. She wasn't surprised; this was Koh's lair. She wondered if it would hurt when Koh took her face. She wondered what would happen to her body. Would he leave it here to rot with the other corpses; failures of her people, or would it wander lost in the Spirit World like Zuko?


Author's Notes:

Previous hiatus chapter replaced with actual chapter. Go back and read if you haven't already or this chapter won't make a lot of sense.

Sorry for the delays. In case you missed my note, I suffer from debilitating chronic migraines which means I suffer more than 15 migraine days a month. Last month I had 22 migraine days, many of them severe. I'm starting a new treatment tomorrow which will hopefully end the cycle and lessen the severity, allowing me to get back into writing. Wish me luck!

Still working on my Zutara Week 2017 fic. Figured it's already super late, so I'll focus on quality and make it worth the wait. (I, hope.)
